I cant make any recommendations for the inside of a GT. But on the outside...
I would use a condenser something like a newer honda, all alum, very small and compact and very efficent. It does use block type o-ring fittings so custom hoses needed(no hose clamps, please). Forget any of the york or gm a-6 type of compressor, big, heavy, take a lot of horsepower and quite leak prone(designed for R-12). Many smaller, efficent units on the market today. I would stay away from the variable displacement compressors(gm, V-5, V-7 ect). Design system to work with R134-A, proven to work good, easy to get(for now!). Lots of substitutes out there, stay away. I have not seen any stand alone units in the rear of the Chrysler mini vans, all the ones I have worked on, had an evap, heater core and a blower in them with heater and A/c lines going to the eng cpmt. Make sure there is a heater control valve that shuts off all hot coolant to the heater(even with a non A/C car this can help a lot). These are just my opinions. Hope someone got something useful from all this!
